THE BAMBERG HERALD. J Established 1891 BAMBERG, S. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1905 One Dollar a Year , mm , , A MARVELOUS COUNTRY. Low Rates for Lewis and Clark Exposition Make Possible a Wonderful Sightseeing Trip at Comparatively Low Cost The visitor to the Lewis and Clark Exposition next summer will have an opportunity to see and study a wonderful country at a wonderfully low cost. While the fair in itself will prove an attraction worth many times the time and money spent in the overland trip, the scenery 1 surrounding Portland, the fair city, and nr* ond Hnwn th? Columbia is as beautiful as any in the world. From the fair grounds may be seen the snow-capped peaks of the Cascades,Mount Hood, Mount Ranier, Mount Adams and i Mount St. Helena rising in glistening whiteness on the horizon. Mount Hood, the particular pride of Portlanders, is distant about forty miles. Cloud Cap Inn, half way up its side, offers hospitable shelter to the tourist who climbs the mountain. The trip to the top of the mountain and back may be made in two days and a night, and the cost is less than $20. For natural scenery nowhere on earth can the Pacific Northwest be surpassed. Here may be found mountains that rival the Alps, prairie lands smiling with a wealth of agricultural plenty, rivers that flow between hills whose sides are still covered with the virgin forest through which Lewis and Clark passed, and Cascades where clear mountain water falls for hundreds of feet in glorious prodigality*, of volume. The Columbia, "The Amazon of North America," flows through the very'heart * of the Oregon country, a mighty river, greater in volume than the Mississippi, and more beautiful than the Hudson. * FrOm its source in the mountains, the river winds its way 1400 miles to the^sea, bulwarked during most of its course by . mountains that lift their snow-topped head* to the sky. Along its entire course are found a never ceasing variety of wonders. At the Dalles the river and the molten lava from some extinct volcano have fought for supremacy, and the river has won. At the cascades, nature has dammed the stream. Castle Rock, which Lewis and Clark named "Beacon Rock," is a never-ending source of wonder ' ~ and interest, as are Rooster Rock, a mighty lava pillar, and Cape Horn, a grand lava cliff of immense proportions. All of these are of interest, but perhaps more fascinating to the eye than^any are the series of graceful, crystal-clear cascades that fall hundreds of feet from the mountain sides, now visible as a silver thread, now disappearing into the mountain side, now appearing again in greater volume, and finally vanishing in a cloud of mist. Latourelle, Horse Tail, Bridal Veil and Multnomah are the best known ' . v of these, though there are others hardly less beautiful. The country abounds in places of unusual historical interest. A short distance above the mouth of the Williamette river is Fort Vancouver, a beautiful army post built on the site of the old Vancouver, which the Hudson's Bay Company built. On the lower Colombia is Mount Coffin, an old Indian burying-ground, and Sadale Mountain, a prominent landmark. The town of Astoria, fonnded in 1811, was the first American settlement on the \ Pacific coast. Fort Clatsop, where Lewis \ and Clark spent the winter in 1805-6, is near Astoria, and the salt cairn, where the explorers evaporated sea water, is not far from sea-side. These places can be visited either by river or rail, or a combination of both, at small cost. There are many s - handsome and comfortable excursion steamers which will run regularly to points of interest. Besides these shorter side trips, there will be many longer ones such as are ens, tomarily taken by tourists. A visit to Yellowstone Park may be made for comf paratively small additional expense, and arrangements will probably be perfected ! which will make it possible for a traveler i to go one way via one of the northern t routes, And the other by way of California. The Exposition in itself, while not so large as the World's Fair at St. Louis, will be interesting in many ways. People who are excursion-weary may yet find , ; many things to interest them at the Coast Fair. Built with a view to compactness without crowding, there will be no miles of walks to weary the limbs, no long visl tas of seemingly countless structures of staff to weary the eye. The fair may be seen within the time and means which the average person has at his disposal. ^ First of the Lazy Men. Daring the civil war, says the Philadel(> phia Ledger, a captain of a company * which had sixty men in its ranks, none of whom was as energetic as the officer > > thought he should be, hit upon a plan r which he believed would cure the men's r habits of laziness. One morning, after roll-call, the captain, addressing his command, said: * "I have a nice, easy job for the laziest man in the company. Will the laziest man step<to the front?" ? i Instantly fifty-nine men each took a f step forward. "Why didn't you step to the front?" inquired the commander of the one man who did not come. | "I was too lazy," replied the soldier. K I IN THE PALMETTO STATE. INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. Through the efforts of Commissioner Watson, it is likelv that a colony of Boers will settle in this State. It is said that two of the largest cotton mills at Union, of which T. C. Duncan is president, have decided to adopt the tenhour working day for the operatives. The movement is likely to become general throughout the State. Rev. C. C. Jacobs, a negro, is making a contest for the seat of Congressman A. F. Lever, and last week several days were spent in taking testimony in Orangeburg. The contest is based on the constitutionality of our registration laws. The two white men recently convicted in Darlington county for the murder of a negro, have been sentenced. One is sentenced to be hanged and the other gets life imprisonment. Truly juries are realizing their duty in South Carolina. The State Supreme Court has decided that the bondsmen of whiskey constables are liable for damages in cases where constables attack people in discharge of their duty. Hereafter the constables will doubtless be less handy with their guns. The South Carolina branch of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association at a meeting held in Charleston last week, passed resolutions favoring the use of cotton sacks for the shipment of rice, salt, grist, etc., instead of jute. The reasons given for desiring the change is that the cotton sack is more valuable when empty than jute, and it will create a more general demand for cotton. Some Queer Doings. There are some queer doings in so-called high life of the people of the North. A dispatch from Newport, R. I.t says as a sequel to two divorce cases which two years ago caused sensations?those of Mrs. Hollis H. Hunnewell and Mrs. Mary Isabel Kemp?it was learned recently that suit had been brought, or was about to be brought against Hollis H. Hunnewell, of Wellesley, Mass., now the husband of Mrs. Kemp, to recover for counsel fees in connection with securing the divorce of Mrs. Kemp. The suit is brought by Col. Samuel R. Honey, and it is stated on trustworthy authority that the amount claimed is $35,000. Mrs. Hunnewell is a daughter of Mrs. Fredric Neilson, and a sister of Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt. * 1 JJtrnwio o nro inst Xfr 906 BrOUgUb SCIJUU U1 Ull uiw u^uiuu. Kemp in the Rhode Island courts, and the case was heard and a divorce granted at Newport on May 26,1903, the grounds being neglect and refusal to provide. (Jnder the laws of Rhode Island Mrs. Kemp had to wait six months before the divorce became operative, and on November 27, 1903, an absolute decree was granted by Judge Dubois at Newport, and an hour later Mrs. Kemp was married to Mr. Hunnewell by Judge Dubois. Mr. Hunnewell was divorced from his wife about six months prior to this, she afterward marrying John S. Tooker. This is certainly a mess. A man being sued for the lawyer's fees securing a divorce for his wife from his wife from her former husband, is something unique, and could only take place among people who have mislaid what little morals they may have started life with. Country Correspondence. Bad weather we have had for the last few days. Hope it is the gales for the equinox. Miss Belle McKewn returned to take charge of her school Monday morning, much imoroved. Miss Kathleen Chisolm, of Colston, visited in our midst from Friday to Sunday. The many friends of Mr. Win. Bessinger, familiarly known as "Uncle Billy," will be sorry to learn that his health is very much on the decline, though we hope he will improve and regain his usual strength. Little Elveyn Sandifer, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Sandifer, was kicked by a cow last Sunday afternoon and broke his leg just at the ankle. He is doing as well as could be expected, and we hope he will soon be able to get out of bed. I Whooping cough is in our vicinity, and there is much report about smallpox in the surrounding country. We hope, though, it is a mistake and feel sure it will prove to be chicken pox. On last Saturday morning the angel of death visited the home of Mr. P. "W. Sandifer and claimed the spirit of their son, Edgar. He was about 21 years old The remains were interred in the cemetery at Springtown Sunday morning. The funeral services were conducted in the parlors at home by Prof. E. K. Hardin, of the Fitting School. May the grieving ones realize that He doeth all things wisely and feel that while we are near death we are nearer life, and those who have left us have only gone to prepare the way for us.

H.F.Hoover NEWS AND COURIER ENTERPRISE. A Big New Press Ordered and a New Building Erected. It is understood that the News and Courier company has closed a contract for a new Hoe press, which will print, when occasion demands,twenty four pages at once, folding and counting each paper at tbe same time. This necessitates the purchase of a far more extensive sterotyping outfit, and in addition to this, the company is tearag down the old, and building a new two story building to give more room in the composing and make up room. Work on the new building began this week, and a contract with the Hoe company was completed Saturday. The press will be shipped at once, and it is hoped to get it in operation in about GO days.? Florence Daily Times, March 11,1005. A Passionate Scene. Her eyes were wild. Her hair was in disorder. Her face was flushed. Her hands were clinched. She was a deeply injured and desperate woman. "Oh, cruel one," she cried in anguished tones, "I have borne with you too long." You have injured, you have tortured me, and yet I could not bear to give you up. When first we met, how your ease and polish attracted me! Wheu you become my own, how my friends envied me! But your understanding is too small for my large soul. You are opposed to my advancing. myself. You have ruined ray standine in society. If we had never met I might have walked in peace. So now be gone. We part forever." There was a moment's convulsive breathing, a gritting of teeth and a sharp sigh. It was all over. By a supreme effort she had pulled off her new shoe. Remanded to Jail. A white man named Ed. Cauley, form-1 erly a cotton mill operative here, who was arrested a couple of weeks ago,! charged with beating his wife and an old lady named Thomas, was given a preliminary hearing before Magistrate W. R. Wright. He was bound over to the circuit court in the sum of $1,000. Hefailed to give the bond and was returned to jail. The man's attack on the old lady Thomas was especially savage and brutal, and it will doubtless go hard with him. A Modern Parable. An anecdote is told of an Indian who, having heard much of the comfort of a feather bed, determined to test it for himself, but was not willing to invest much in feathers until they had proved their value. So, securing one feather, he placed it on the bare floor and laid himself down upon it. In the morning he was not only unrested but sore. He declared that he wanted np feathers in his bed; that since a single feather had made him so uncomfortable, a whole bed of feathers would have killed kira. Some business men test advertising in about the same way that the Indian tested the feather be"d, and reason about the result with similar logic. incredible"brutality. It would have been incredible brutality if C. F. Lemberger, of Syracuse, N. Y., had not done the best he could for his suffering son. "My boy," he says, "cut a fearful gash over his eye, so I applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve, which healed it and saved his eye." Good for burns and ulcers too.

When your ship of health strikes the hidden rocks of consumption, pneumonia, etc., you are lost, if you don't get help from Dr. King's New Discovery. J. W. McKinnon, of Talladega Springs, Ala., writes: "I had been ill with pneumonia, under the care of two doctors, but was getting no better when I began to take Dr. King's New Discovery. The first dose gave relief and one bottle cured me." Sure cure for sore throat, bronchitis, coughs and colds. Guaranteed by all druggists at Bamberg; Felder & Matthews, Denmark. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Southern Boys Lead. The Boston Herald pertinently inquires: "How is it that the Southern cadets lead their classes so frequently at West Point? In last year's graduating class the leader comes from Mississippi and a Virginia cadet comes next." The Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner says "the chief reason is that they belong to a military race, a fact demonstrated in every war this country has ever had." Another reason is that the Congressmen, by competitive examinations, appoint the best young men in their districts, who have superior education as well as a martial spirit. Verily, the South is going to the front and it is gratifying to know that the crop of young men is so promising. THE COLONEL'S WATERLOO. Col. J. M. Fuller, Honey Grove, Texas, nearly met his Waterloo, from liver and lri/inoTT trnnhlp Tn a letter he savs: "I was nearly dead, of these complaints, and, although I tried my family doctor, he did me no good; so I got a 50c bottle of your Electric Bitters, which cured me. I consider them the best medicine on earth, and thank God who gave you the knowledge to make them."

A Letter from "Soge." i Editor Herald:?As your country correspondent so courteously requests "Soge" to give his reasons for being averse to "we" in writing for papers, etc., he will answer as briefly as possible. If a single person is writing, why use a plural pronoun ? It has always seemed to your scribe that the writer either needed penhelf or wanted another to share his or her responsibility in case of afterclaps. If several persons were to go fishing or hunting and one of the party should elect f a r?V? v/\n i/?lo uTiv incidents or' accidents. I "W V/"* *~?j , it would be his privilege to use not only "we" and "our" but sometimes "I." "Soge" certainly admires your correspondent for not writing above a non de plume and wishes that he had heretofore written either above his own name or none; and further for not desiring to engage in a controversy, which sentiment tallies with that of the writer, who admits to the ailment?cacoethes scribendi?for many years but has never been involved in a newspaper war.

The South Carolina Cotton Growers' Associa. tion Urges The Farmers to Establish Them. Columbia, S. C., March 7th, 1905.? The warehouse committee of the South Carolina division of the Southern Cotton Association, consisting of the following gentlemen: E. W. Robertson, Columbia, Leroy Springs, Lancaster, W. E. Burnett, Spartanburg, B. H. Harris, Pendleton, T. B. Stackhouse, Dillon, L. W. Youmans, Fairfax, met in the office of the Association today, and adopted the following resolutions: Resolved 1st. That this committee recommend to every community in South Carolina where the necessity for warehouses exist, to build these warehouses through their own efforts or by outside assistance if preferred, or if possible'to obtain, at a cost of from $800 to $1,200 with a storage capacity, respectively of from 500 to 1000 bales of cotton. Resolved 2nd. That |we urge upon the farmers the importance of storing their cotton promptly, upon being ginned, in the standard warehouses where they can get negotiable warehouse receipts, thus saving it from loss in weight or damage, and putting it in negotiable shape so that they will not be forced to market it except at their own pleasure; as it has been demonstrated by the action of the New Orleans Convention that reasonable prices can be obtained, irrespective of the size of the crop by the judicious marketing and this can only be accomplished by an effective warehouse system. Resolved 3d. That any information as to construction or outside assistance can be obtained by communicating with the Columbia office of the Southern Cotton Association. That a copy of these resolutions be filed in this office and that a copy be given to the press with the request that all the county papers publish them. Farmerg*Meeting. The Bamberg county division of the Southern Cotton Growers' Association met in the court house here last Thursday morning at eleven o'clock, President Jno. W. Crum presiding, and Secretary J. D. Felder in his place. This meeting was held for the purpose of perfecting our county organization, and to enlist the cooperation and sympathy of as many farmers and business men as possible. There was a good attendance of representative farmers and others, and much interest was manifested. The meeting was called to order by the president, who then made a very strong address on the importance of this movement. His paper was carefully prepared and gave much valuable information and advice. The purposes of the association were discussed by Capt. J. B. Guess, Jno. R. Bellinger, Esq., C. B. Free, Dr. J. B. Black, A. W. Knight, Col. Jno. F. Folk, and Rev. J.B. Holly, all of whom declared themselves in hearty sympathy with any movement looking to the interest of the agricultural class of our people. The reduction of acreage, use of fertilizers, and various phases of the situation were discussed, after which a number of members were enrolled. The following executive committee, to have full charge of the work of organizing or inducing other fanners to join in the movement, was then appointed by the president: Capt. J. B. Guess,-Dr. E. Kirkland, C. B. Free, D. R. Matheny, and Wm. Kinard. The association then adjourned, subject to the call of the president. Municipal Election. The municipal election for the town of Bamberg for a mavor and six aldermen to serve the town for the next two years is to be held Tuesday, May 2nd, and already oar citizens have began to take an interest in the matter. The ticket nominated in another column, consisting of G. Moye Dickinson for mayor, and Geo. F. Hair, G. Frank Bamberg, John Cooner, A. M. Brabham, W. A. Riley and A. W. Knight is squarely in the field, and each man has agreed to serve if ^elected. In reference to the ticket in another column, headed "Conservative Business Men Ticket," it is necessary we believe for us to say that this ticket is paid for as an advertisement and inserted as such. It was sent to this paper by Col Jao. F Folk, who assumes responsibility for the nominations. We make this statement v^nonao isanps jiTfi sharnlv drawn. and UWUUtJV liuv wwmv^ ? f - # we want no one to have any excuse for misunderstanding our position.The names of Messrs. Brooker, Jones, and Hair are being used on this ticket without their consent. Messrs. Jones and Brooker will not serve under any circumstances, although they have been urged to allow the use of their names. Dr. Hair having consented to run on the Dickinson ticket^eels that he would be misunderstood were he to allow the use of his name on another ticket. As to the other gentlemen named as aldermen, we do not know their wishes in this matter, and we assure them we have no desire to place them in the position of candidates. The ticket is paid for as an advertisement, and we are not responsible for the use of their names.

Run Over By Car at Denmark and Lies in Rain All Ni<ht Without Attention. Denmark, March 13.?A tramp, who was known to be under the influence of whiskey, was seen on Saturday afternoon playing the part of a mute. No one gave his coming ana going any more thought until Sunday morning, when he was discovered near the Seaboard track with his left hand and right leg crushed to a pulp. The unfortunate man had evidently gone under the car on the side track for shelter from the rain, and being stupefied by ';||| drink or possibly overcome by sleep, he lay there undisturbed until the cars were shifted over hfln sometime during the ni<rht "Rlnnrl nn the OAr wheels and on the rails show conclusively that the accident occurred near the spot where the helpless wanderer was found. Next morning neither the Seaboard nor the Southern would assume care of the tramp. Governor Heyward was wired, and by his request, the town authorities took charge of the man. Drs. Wyman and Matthews were called, and after consultation, both limbs were amputated. The doctors attending say the chances for life'are very favorable. To-day the tramp gave his name as Frank A. Brooks, Richmond, Va. He says he has a daughter in Richmond. She has been informed of the accident, but no reply has been recteived. On his right arm the initials "F. A. B." are tattooed, and on the left arm a nude form of a woman. The tramp asserts very emphatically that '' after the cars passed over him two men lifted him from the track to one side and ien mm mere, ream reu cuuiuiuuuaij throughout the night , Preachers' Meeting. A meeting of the ministers of the South Carolina Conference, M. E. Church, \ South, was held in the Methodist church j/ypH here yesterday. Presiding Elder Marion Dargan was unable to attend, as he is sick. The meeting was presided over by Dr. ^ J. A. Clifton, of Orangeburg, with Rev. J. / L. Harley, of Barnwell, as secretary. Matters of interest to the church generally y ^Bj : were discussed, and a general revival | planned. A resolution was passed that all missionary claims for the year be ^ raised by Easter. The meeting was large- .* asM "f ly attended by the preachers of the die- trict, and much enthusiasm shown. The plans put on foot will result in much V good to the Master's cause. It was a ' most harmonious and profitable meeting throughout. Homes were provided for the ministers through the kindness of v; Pastor Duncan and Mr. C. R. Brabham, and we feel sure they all enjoyed their stay even it if was brief. ^ Two New Cases of Smallpox. Last Sunday two new cases of small pox developed here. A negro woman and one of her children contracted the dis- j ease, they living next door to the negro, ,: } Henry Walker, who was the first case. Walker is now well and has been dis* charged by the attending physician. All of his clothes have been destroyed, and the houses in that vicinity thoroughly disinfected. At a special meeting of city copncil * held Monday night, Dr. C. E. Kinsey, of the board of health, appeared before the body and urged that a pest house be established in an isolated part of the town, / ,18 to which patients could be removed and thereby isolated. The Doctor saict the zreatest danzer in the spread of the dis ease was to keep negroes oat of the infected houses. Council saw the force of his suggestions and he was authorized to rent a suitable house and have the * ' patients'removed thereto at once. Dr. J. J. Cleckley was elected a member of the board of health by council. Council also authorized the board of ; health to pursue a vigorous policy of vaccination, and this is going on rapidly. It is thought that there will be no more new cases. Only three persons have taken the disease so far, and the prompt measures being taken will no doubt result in its being stamped out. In the meantime, everybody should be vaccinated. Since the above was written, the two patients have been put by themselves in ore house and all the other houses thoroughly disinfected. The situation is well | in hand, and no further spread of the disease need be feared. ' New Stationery. Th? Herald Book Store received this week the largest, prettiest and most complete line of stationery ever shown in Bamberg, We mean every word we say. Come and see the stock. No one can . ^ touch us in price or quality, to say nothing of variety. We have anything you can call for in the stationery line, and can4 v V*llf suit any taste.
